A consignor from Calgary, he developed a deep passion for Scotch whisky just eight years ago. He was captivated by the wide variety of products and their exceptional aromas and flavors. Joining the esteemed Scotch Club and Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), he began curating his own collection. Over time, he traveled across Canada and the United States in search of the finest bottles, and his efforts paid off. At the height of his collection, it included 318 bottles, all carefully stored in a custom-built room in his home. Each bottle was kept upright in its original box, shielded from light. Now, he has decided to bring a selection of his treasured bottles to auction, hoping they will bring as much joy to others as they did to him.
Bottle 0511. Glenmorangie Truffle Oak Reserve 26 years is a rare, limited edition single malt. Aged in truffle oak barrels from southwestern Germany's Black Forest, the Quercus Robur wood allows intense interaction with the whiskey, resulting in a rich flavor. The exceptional porosity of these barrels enhances the whiskey's complexity and gives it a unique character. Also, this means a generous share of spirit is taken by the angels. 55.7%ABV. Scored 95 points from Mark Gillespie of WhiskyCast. The nose has touches of baked orange, tropical fruits, honeycomb, vanilla beans, and hints of figs, dates, and plums. The taste is spicy with clove, white pepper, and cardamom, baked oranges in the background along with brown sugar, honeycomb, and dried flowers. Water opens up a touch of cigar box, barley sugar, and stone fruits. The finish is very long and spicy with hints of orange and tropical fruits. Excellent!
